It has been effective for 46 years and counting. Iran has been able to sponsor terrorism without coming under attack. Neither the US nor Israel will attack Iran unless there is a major provocation.😎

Dictatorship is the common denominator between Russia and North Korea. POTUS OJ wants to be that guy. Iran is ruled by a theocracy. Different type of power. The Ayotallah has indoctrinated his followers into a religious ideology part of which characterizes the West as a demonic empire. Millions of people are ready to fight and die to protect their way of life against imperialism. Regardless of how a sovereign country chooses to roll its program, as long as their citizens are cool with it and they are not trying to spread their ideology across the planet, I'm fine with it. Let sovereign nations do their own thing. They should have a right to protect themselves against foreign adversaries too.😎

That 3rd term is material for a new thread.🤣 The next few years could be the set-up for making it happen.😁😎

POTUS admires Putin's dictatorial style of leadership. I think Vlady has a file on him too. OTOH, POTUS knows Iran *hates* the US and would love to see it crumble. 😎

POTUS has issued two threats: 1) Sanctions and tariffs against Russia if they violate the cease-fire deal in war with Ukraine: https://www.reuters.com/world/trump-threatens-russia-others-with-sanctions-if-ukraine-deal-not-reached-2025-01-22/ 2) Bomb Iran if they continue pursuing a nuclear weapon: https://www.reuters.com/world/trump-says-there-will-be-bombing-if-iran-does-not-make-nuclear-deal-2025-03-30/ Polar opposite approaches in terms of diplomacy. Kid gloves for Russia. Sledgehammer for Iran. Surely, there's no confusion as to why these countries are viewed and treated so differently.😎

Dr. MLK Jr. did not mention or stress the importance of accounting in the book.😁😎

https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opinion/-trump-smithsonian-museum-executive-order-race-rcna198533 The current administration has signed an executive order to restore a certain ideology to museums. The Vice President has been tasked with getting the Smithsonian to whitewash American history. National Museum of African-American History & Culture (NMAAHC) could undergo changes in order to continue receiving federal funding. The clown car is barreling down the street. These next few years will be a bumpy ride.😎

@aka Contrarian, I asked the question rhetorically. I wasn't around to know the temperature of how Black folks were dealing with white supremacy back in those days. I appreciate your response.🤗 In his book Why We Can't Wait, Dr. MLK Jr. touched on how he thought Black folks should handle economics.😎

Look no further than the people currently running the country. A few dumb folks in that clown car. They are a microcosm of the US power structure.😁😎

Racism white supremacy is a system that allows white folks to dominate other groups of people and to control and maintain power and privilege among themselves. The dumbest white man has more power than the most brilliant man of any other race. The willingness to use that technology to conquer and colonize others makes the difference. Not everyone with a gun has the ability to take a life whether threatened or not. White supremacy will use anything as tool to dominate and control other folks Absolutely. No one should be ridiculed for being studious. Truth. Sabotaging oneself is a huge problem. Being off code doesn't help either. Strong science amd math potentially provides for better *job* opportunities. Until AI shows up.🤣😎

I know. Im saying Group A didn't have to hunt and capture Group B. Many of them were sold by their own people. Africans would beg to differ when you explain it to them.🤣😎

White people are only tolerating Black folks being in the US because they brought some of our ancestors here.😁 If they could send us back *somewhere* ships and planes would have been loaded up already.🤣 OTOH, as NF Jr. taught, white folks need Black folks here to mistreat as a class beneath themselves.😎

Group A didn't capture and enslave millions of people. Africans were selling their own people into slavery. They didn't consider it low intelligence. It was a business decision. All expenses paid cruise to work in another country.🤣😎

I doubt the fake weed smoking, couch sitting n8gglet has a house with high vaulted ceilings or smoke detectors requiring a ladder to reach.🤣😎

Funny to see that I wrote that 3 years ago. I've been hanging out here for a long minute. Time flies.😁 Black folks add flavor to everything we do....music, food, sports, fashion, etc. Reggae has changed over the years but it still heavily influences other styles of Black music especially in Africa.😎

I knew that bait would reel you into invoking intelligence.😁 Tricking isn't always deceptive. Think about it as related to turning tricks.😉 A mark doesn't automatically translate to low intelligence. Especially if they get strong-armed or worse.😎

@Pioneer1, I don't see much difference between the US, China an Russia as it relates to Black folks. Youre not going to get any more or less butter biscuits.🤣😎

Group A didn't show up with guns blazing. They showed up presenting good faith. Tricked the Africans into selling out. Enslaved them. Colonization and imperialism. Just like India, Australia, West Indies and the Americas.😎

Nah bro. I've still got my own flow. No polls. 1) I can recognize a good point. Brotha @richardmurray was spot on with tribes. 2) I posed the questions to see if it would increase participation in the discussion. Once the ice melts through climate change there is belief it will open shipping lanes. Additionally, there's oil, gas and rare earth minerals. They claim Russian and Chinese ships are already there. Vlady Putin says it would be great for the US to have an interest in Greenland.😁 The US military already has a presence there.😎

Yep. That dude must be allergic to Black snatchbox.🤣😎

Depends on the height of the smoke detector or light fixture. 🤣 Some homes have vaulted ceilings that are pretty high up. A person who's afraid of heights will make a phone call to change that smoke detector battery or light bulb.😁😎

Right. I was referring to generations as groups. Gotcha. Hopefully @aka Contrarian or @umbrarchist can shed light on why their generation didn't break the chains of white supremacy. Understood. Your reasons for staying with that company are similar to why and how people accept the system of racism white supremacy. They know it isn't *right* but it's not bad enough.😁😎

I already acknowledged that humans have always been fighting and killing each other for one reason or another. The Rwandan Tutsi and Hutu had been beefing forever as tribes do. German agitators plunged them into a bloody war. Instigate. Colonize. White supremacy playbook.😎

Bro, you're going to insinuate the silent generation, baby boomers and GenXers were of low intelligence. If you're indicting your grandparents and parents and your generation with low intelligence...I'll let you hold that bag to yourself. 🤣 The questions are 1) why did you take such a job in the 1st place and 2) why did you work for that company and 3) why didn't you start a rival company.😎

Again, that's why I wrote most. White Asians including Indians will throw shade at their darker brethen. Black folks here in the US can easily find out Asians are done with them shortly after money changes hands.🤣😎
